This is as simple as I can get.

I will have several spans randomly positioned on the screen through something like:

 $(".hidden:first").css('-webkit-transform','rotate('+((0.5-Math.random())*40)+'deg)'); 
 $(".hidden:first").animate({
    left: '+=' + (((screen.width-800-224)/2) + Math.random()*800),
    top: '+=' + (50+Math.random()*600)
  } [...]

and later on I would like to iterate through every char of every of those elements (that are randomly position and have random rotation), and I would need to discover the (x,y) position of every character on the screen so I can colorize it, forming certain draws according to certain functions.

Is this easily achievable? I am really inexperienced at javascript.

Thanks. Fernando.
